Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Standard 16-Core

Conveniently license your Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition with a 16-core package from Wiresoft! The Standard Edition of Windows Server 2019 already covers the typical deployment options of smaller data centers: with sufficient options in terms of virtualization and scalability, reliable performance as well as high security standards as required for the protected operation of multi-cloud environments.

Windows Server 2019 Standard combines physical and virtual networks to deliver data and applications through cloud-based servers, it is thus best suited to meet the IT needs of small and medium-sized businesses. Based on Windows 10 as the operating system, it includes optimizations of existing features as well as powerful new features, making it ready for all workloads.

The included virtualization options are usually the main deciding factor when choosing the Standard Edition of Windows Server 2019. This is because it already provides basic important functions for smaller companies to develop reliable infrastructures based on them. In this context, Windows Server 2019 Standard offers the close connection of on-premises environments with the cloud, with Microsoft Azure Services offering further hybrid functions including security layers.

The licensing of the Standard Edition of Windows Server 2019 is also exclusively core-based, whereby 16 cores always apply as the minimum number per server, so that this can be conveniently and flexibly licensed with a 16-core package as the basis.

At Wiresoft, you can get the 16-core package of Windows Server 2019 Standard as used software - this offers the great advantage of its significantly lower price compared to new - with the same range of functions, which this edition offers in terms of virtualization, but also performance and protection of data. Detailed information on the most important features of Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition 16-Core Packages including the applicable licensing terms is provided in the following overview.

Version comparison: What functionality does Windows Server 2019 Standard offer?

The decision to purchase the Standard or another edition of Windows Server 2019 is often based on whether and which virtualization features are available or have limited use: Hyper-V is only available to a limited extent in the Standard edition, and Shielded Virtual Machines (VMs) as well as Storage Spaces Direct and storage replication are still missing, as are SDN (Software Defined Networking) and SDS (Software Defined Storage).

Still, the Windows Server 2019 Standard edition offers enough capabilities for operating hybrid networks, including high security of data and applications -many improvements and additions to the features known from the corresponding previous version help to create software-defined hyperconverged (HCI) infrastructure platforms for operating multi-cloud environments; including many benefits for server and desktop virtualization, in addition to easier deployment, scaling as well as better manageability.

Key components of Windows Server 2019 Standard

Windows Server 2019 Edition Standard is designed for those organizations where virtualization plays a (still) minor role. The number of virtual machines and Hyper-V containers that can be run with it is therefore limited to 2, and the RAM limit is 24 TB.

Furthermore, the following important features are available for the backup of data as well as network analysis and the use of containers:

Storage Replica

The Storage Replica storage function is also available in Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition to a limited extent. Storage Replica prevents losses at the file system level by supporting both synchronous replication of data by mirroring to physical locations with a fail-safe volume and asynchronous replication of data by mirroring between locations over higher-latency network links. Storage Spaces Direct is not supported.

Predictive Analytics with System Insights

Supported by a machine learning model for greater efficiency, the System Insights predictive analytics feature is available in Windows Server 2019 Standard to comprehensively analyze locally deployed servers in terms of performance indicators and events to gain accurate predictions for reactive management of Windows Server instances based on the results obtained; predictive analytics can thus help reduce management overhead in an organization, thereby reducing operational costs.

Container support for Kubernetes and Linux

Comprehensive support for containers is also available in Standard Edition with Windows Server 2019. Kubernetes and Linux are supported even better than before; for example, Linux and Windows containers managed with Kubernetes can be used in parallel. Also available for Kubernetes are new features such as container networking.

The license for the Standard edition allows the use of 2 virtual machines (VMs), therefore a total of 2 Hyper-V containers can also be used; host monitoring is not supported. Windows containers can be used in an unlimited number.

Improved data and network protection with Microsoft Azure Services

With Microsoft Azure Services, hybrid capabilities can be used in Windows Server 2019 Standard to seamlessly connect on-premises data centers to a cloud. Azure offers the special advantage of an end-to-end hybrid infrastructure and thus uniform functions in security, identities and management. Azure Services thus not only offer improved protection of on-premises Active Directorys, but also easier synchronization or better backup of data:

• Azure Active Directory enables universal management and protection of identities, even across multiple environments.
• With Azure Arc, Azure management as well as Azure services can be extended to any infrastructure.
• Azure services such as Azure Backup, Azure Site Recovery and Azure Monitor can be easily and quickly enabled through the Windows Admin Center.

Applicable software and hardware requirements for installing and running Windows Server 2019 Standard edition

In order to deploy the Windows Server 2019 Standard edition, the hardware used in the process must meet minimum requirements as listed below. Additional requirements depend on the particular system configuration as well as other installed applications.

• Hard disk space: 32 GB
• Random access memory (RAM): 512 MB
• Disk space for server desktop display: 2 GB
• Processor: 64-bit
• Processor speed: 1.4 GHz
• Graphics card: 1,024 x 768 pixels, Super VGA support
• Network card: Gigabit Ethernet, 1x

Licensing with Windows Server 2019 Standard 16-Core Package

Even with used software, licensing of a server with Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition is done according to Microsoft licensing regulations. At least one 16-core package is required. The following terms and conditions continue to apply.

General Microsoft License Terms for Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition

Microsoft server software such as Windows Server 2019 Standard or a higher edition is generally licensed only on the basis of the physical hardware used. A single server license covers 2 physical processor cores. The Microsoft licensing terms also always assume a minimum number of 8 cores per processor - even if the hardware used actually has fewer than 8 cores. In addition, 2 processors are set as the minimum number for each physical server; this results in the minimum number of 16 cores, which is exactly what the 16 Core Package is designed for. A server that has more than 16 cores can be licensed supplementally with 2-Core Packages to Windows Server 2019 Standard, which are also available from Wiresoft as used software.

Additional licensing requirements for Hyper-V with Windows Server 2019 Standard

In addition to the number of physical core processors, licensing also takes into account the number of virtual servers. Windows Server 2019 in Standard Edition allows a maximum of two Hyper-V instances to run per core license. In this case, all processors in a Hyper-V environment must be licensed that correspond to the physical processor cores. If additional Hyper-V instances are required with the Standard edition, all active cores must be re-licensed.

In addition to a Windows Server 2019 Standard license, all clients - that is, each user or endpoint device - that access the Windows Server must also be provided with a client access license (CAL). User and Device CALs for Windows Server 2019 are also available from Wiresoft at low prices as used software.
